Almost All My Worst Fears Being Realized Since Reagan. Thanks GOP & GOP voters. .

Every since Reagan was elected just about all my worst fears have been realized. We have been sinking into the abyss in so many ways in this country since the Reagan Revolution. He started it and Trump may well finish us off entirely. At every level the GOP and poisoned or destroy so many things in our country.

What they have done to employment is the worst. Jobs now and in the future will grow more insecure. And we we continue to sink to third world status on the labor sector. A careful look at labor and employment and I see us move toward a low paying "gig" economy for most workers.

We are one the way to a labor sector where only about 20% of the work force will be making a living wage. As for the rest it will be economic scraps like you see in most "developing" nations. Trump and the GOP are on the way to creating a "market" labor force where wages and benefits will be more in parity with the "global economY".

The Koch brothers and their allies want an economy more in line with the post Civil War era before there was ANY regulation. Even the wages would be market based with no minimum wage or labor standards. The job market may look good now but it really is a sick market underneath.

Thanks to all the workers who kept GOPPERS in office at the right time and in the right place. Trump & Company and the NEW GOP is the legacy of Reagan.
